It's been a few days since my last post. I've been busy but oh well. I have been reading about Wheat-Free, Gluten-Free Desserts recently and I thought I'd just share something more with you guys. Wheat-Free, Gluten-Free Recipes are for those people who're unfortunate to be wheat-intolerant or suffer a celiac disease. It's such a waste actually because wheat is like everything to me...! I cannot imagine living without it, seriously.
Simply put, if you have celiac disease and eat gluten, your body will not absorb the nutrition from the foods you eat. This will not only cause your lower-tract distress, but could also lead to further serious health problems!
If you think you might be suffering from the disease - check the Celiac Sprue Association to find out more about the symptoms (of which includes weight loss, skin rashes, fatigue, etc)
Anyway, below is a great Cinnamon Chocolate Cake recipe I thought I should share with you. :)
2 cups chopped pecans
1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon gluten free baking powder
4 eggs
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup brown sugar
Preheat oven to 350F, grease a 9-inch pan. Place the pecans in a food processor or blender and process until it's very fine! Next, you add the butter, granulated sugar, cocoa, cinnamon, baking powder, eggs, and vanilla; allow it to process for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides, and then process for another 30 seconds.
After so, you can pour the batter into the greased pan, and bake 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool 15 minutes; remove the sides of the pan and let it cool on the rack!
There you go, a brilliant recipe that makes 12 servings! :)
